Hi - just installed a pre-owned Jotul gas stove. I converted it to LP using the Jotul conversion kit that I had to buy separately. Got it all hooked up by the gas company and when trying to light the pilot (pushing in the on/off/pilot knob) we found that there was a persistent swooshing noise (like air going through a tube) and a slight LP smell. We didn't try to ignite... used soapy solution to locate any leaks and didn't see anything obvious.
Is that knob supposed to make that noise?
Was wondering if perhaps the regulator hi/low knob that I replaced with the kit could possibly not be set correctly? Everything else looks good and that was the only thing changed not in the unit itself. The LP smell was faint, and I suppose some could have come out the bottom of the firebox since there is that opening where the air shutter and wingnut assembly is located.
The technician was not a stove repairman - he was installing the LP lines - and he said everything tested out from a pressure point of view.
Thoughts?
